  OpenFaaS - Serverless Functions Made Simple

  

  Project mention: Why we moved from Lambda to ECS | reddit.com/r/devops | 2021-04-20

  OpenFaaS isn't something I was previous familiar with. Thanks for linking it! In your experience, does it come with much management overhead? Part of what makes Lambda/ECS so appealing is that you can throw a definition (code .zip file or container image) at AWS, and it just runs. With OpenFaaS, it looks like you need to maintain some additional infrastructure (a Kubernetes cluster) to get it working, and that'd give you one more thing to worry about.

• functions-samples

  12 9,854 8.1 JavaScript

  Collection of sample apps showcasing popular use cases using Cloud Functions for Firebase

  

  Project mention: Firebase: The google API for building Apps | dev.to | 2021-04-15

  Because of the nature of firebase you don't have direct access to a server, but cloud functions solve that problem. You can export your functions to be called using triggers. So any server side code can be run no stress. Here's the link to the docs P.S you need to be on a paid plan to use Firebase cloud functions.

  Fast and Simple Serverless Functions for Kubernetes

  

  Project mention: Linux Server for Students to use for Python Coding | reddit.com/r/k12sysadmin | 2021-01-22

  Letting students execute arbitrary python code basically means you need disposable environments, since python can theoretically do fun stuff like delete the root partition. If they are just needing a place to execute, and not to code, I would look at something like https://github.com/fission/fission to give them an experience similar to AWS Lambda. If they need a more fully structured OS, then I would look into containerization via Docker or similar.

• OpenWhisk

  1 5,240 7.9 Scala

  Apache OpenWhisk is an open source serverless cloud platform

  

  Project mention: Nimbella in a nutshell | dev.to | 2021-04-06

  The distinctive feature of Nimbella is that is based on open-source software, Apache OpenWhisk and it is portable among different cloud providers, so you can also install it in your private cloud on-premises.

  Serverless PHP on AWS Lambda

  

  Project mention: Ask HN: Does anyone else find the AWS Lambda developer experience poor? | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-04-18

  I'm reminded of a suggestion from someone else a few days go if you don't mind PHP

  >https://bref.sh/ -- it allows running PHP apps on AWS Lambda effortlessly. With all the serverless craze, it's a very important piece of the ecosystem. After writing PHP apps for two decades, I am absolutely stunned how easy it is.

  An API gateway and framework for turning functions into web services (by FunctionScript)

  

  Project mention: The Railsification of SaaS | news.ycombinator.com | 2021-03-09

  You're half-right - we have a specification called FunctionScript [0] that can act as what's basically a universal translation layer for any API. You just generate a proxy to it using FunctionScript. So it's possible to add GraphQL APIs to our stdlib, it's just not convenient right now. All of Shopify is a GQL API, for example.

  The reason we don't support GQL APIs natively is because we designed Autocode to follow the best practices of the top API companies we knew; Twilio and Stripe. Both companies designed their SDKs in a way that feels intuitive: a call to their API is achieved via a namespaced function call -- it's very Railslike. Everything available in our stdlib follows that convention as we felt it was the most intuitive approach to API / SDK design.

  Project mention: How To Deploy Serverless Functions On DigitalOcean App Platform | dev.to | 2021-01-28

  We will create a function that will be packaged in a container using faas-cli, the CLI for use with OpenFaaS. Although the CLI is designed to be used to build and deploy functions to OpenFaaS, it has worked for me outside of OpenFaaS. I use it with Knative and now DigitalOcean App Platform. It has allowed me to write a handler file and the CLI does the rest to create a Docker image and upload it to a registry.

  1 192 6.5 Dockerfile

  OpenFaaS Classic templates (by openfaas)

  

  Project mention: How To Deploy Serverless Functions On DigitalOcean App Platform | dev.to | 2021-01-28

  faas-cli works with templates stored in Git repositories to create the necessary files needed for the functions. Currently, there are templates for Node.js, Python, Go, and C#. You can find the standard templates in github.com/openfaas/templates.

• KeyQL

  1 48 3.8 JavaScript

  A language and specification for building data queries using key-value pairs

  

  Project mention: How to Use Airtable as a Production Database (Analyzing Airtable Performance) | dev.to | 2020-12-07

  The Airtable API's performance scales, surprisingly, with the number of records returned in a given query rather than the size of the table. Even at table sizes at plan limits, the Airtable API performs well for queries that return small numbers of records. Unfortunately, Airtable formulas don't have a built-in concept of pagination, and the KeyQL parameters translate to formulas under the hood, so the KeyQL limit parameter does not get around this issue.
